That's the point: setting any default software is making a choice for others. Is Linux about that? Someone will install a desktop? Fine. Ask him which one, not setting a default one. THAT is a choice. Think about it: setting a default (of any software with alternatives) is to hide a choice. If someone uses only Debian, he's getting Gnome all over the time, maybe he would never know that he could have a choice. How many window-user know that they could replace explorer.exe, Gina.dll? If you are really into "having a choice", then you must give the choice and not make it. my 2 cent.
